ECONOMIC INSANITY

Like so many others, I am very concerned about the direction of our Nation and our future. I could write about the state of our morality, spirituality, politics, and on and on. There are so many deep and urgent concerns.

Here is my concern and question for today.

How do our Nation's politicians think that they can tax and spend our way out of the present economic crisis? High taxes and foolish give-a-ways will deepen an already troubled economy. Why should our government use legalized theft to reward greed and mismanagement? How do they think that the can take, and take, and take, to give to unproductive society and enable continued squandering of money?

It is impossible to borrow your way out of debt. I can't do it. You can't do it. Our Nation can't do it.

Promoting a spirit of socialism won't work either. Have you ever gone to communist countries and noted how they have nothing and there is no creative spirit or individual entrepreneurship? I have traveled twice to Cuba and have seen how communism and socialism does not work.

Here is one plea for a return to sanity in our Nation.

Dear God,

Please have mercy on our Nation. Please help our Congressional leaders to turn to you and trust again as a Nation under God. Please stop socialism, extreme taxation, foolish government spending.

Send a revival of personal responsibility and determination as our forefathers had. Spare us from ungodly, foolish laws that will harm our families, unborn babies, and future generations.
